Mrs. Julien's Reviews:

Trust Me, I Was There, It’s “Secret Baby”

June 29, 2016 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

I have peered into a new corner of the contemporary romance genre with these two novels, one known as “secret baby”. Once Upon a Half-Time and Bad Boy’s Bridesmaid both feature a player and a sensible woman whose precipitous actions lead to an absolutely conventional conclusion.  These Sosie Frost books also happen to have an African-American heroine and a Caucasian-American hero. HUZZAH! for diversity, especially when it means that a romance novel looks more like the real world. The race issue is not particularly highlighted in Once Upon […]

Straining Even Kissing Book Credulity

June 28, 2016 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

Prurience isn’t the best reason to read a romance novel featuring two men and a woman, but I willingly admit it was a key one for me in this case. The fact that Home for Three was free also contributed, as salaciousness for its own sake should always be a bargain. This contemporary romance features an established gay couple who meet the woman of their dreams.  Can the three of them find a way to create a family? Home for Three is Queer Eye for the Straight Guy with […]

Four “In Too Deeps”, No Waiting!

June 24, 2016 by Mrs. Julien 6 Comments

There are at least fifteen kissing books called In Too Deep on Amazon and it seemed to me that my ones of readers deserved to know how they stacked up. My criteria were simple. First, the title, second, it had to be gratis. With these rigorous investigational standards, I was able to acquire four In Too Deeps in three minutes. The Freshman Roommates Series: In Too Deep by Mara Jacobs – Young adult contemporary Lily is a college freshman giving swimming lessons to local children when she meets Lucas. He has custody of […]

With Thesaurus Assistance on Synonyms for Trite

June 23, 2016 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

Is this what is known as a beach read in that it is something disposable you can follow easily whilst also making sure your toddler doesn’t drown? Bella Andre’s contemporary romance The Way You Look Tonight is easily one of the most obvious, pedestrian, and stereotypically bad novels I have ever read. Book one of a series, The Seattle Sullivans, that I will not only not be reading, it is one I would gladly use volumes of for a campfire. Rafe Sullivan is a physically attractive private detective whose […]
